Plotly

Plotly is a platform for building, deploying, and scaling interactive data applications, with a particular focus on analytics, dashboards, and AI-driven workflows. At its core, Plotly provides Plotly.js and Plotly.py, open-source graphing libraries that support a wide range of chart types, including time series, statistical plots, 3D visualizations, maps, and scientific charts. These libraries integrate with Python, R, JavaScript, and other environments commonly used for data science and engineering.

A key component of the platform is Dash, a Python and R framework for creating full-featured web applications without requiring front-end development expertise. Dash enables users to connect directly to data sources, define interactive controls, and build dynamic layouts that update in real time based on user input or streaming data. Plotly supports enterprise features such as authentication, role-based access control, versioning, and deployment to on-premise or cloud infrastructure.
